thursday night at 915 at cnn.com. there is this is cnn. >> breaking news. >> all right. hello again everyone. thank you so much for joining me this sunday. i'm fredricka whitfield, and we begin with this breaking news. the u.s. military says it has carried out another strike on alleged drug trafficking boat, this one in the eastern pacific.

this is the 21st vessel. now the u.s. has attacked in recent weeks. and it comes as the u.s. says its biggest aircraft carrier strike group has now entered the caribbean sea. the u.s. has already put more than a dozen warships and 15,000 troops in the region, as tensions with venezuela continue to rise. we've got full coverage for you. cnn's senior reporter, betsy kline, is in florida, where the president is spending the weekend. stefano bond is in the venezuelan capital of caracas. so let's go to you first, betsy. what are you hearing about this latest attack well, fredricka, one thing that has been praised by president trump's supporters and criticized by his detractors is this idea of strategic ambiguity. >> president trump likes to keep people guessing. and the reality is we just don't know what he is going to decide to do in venezuela. but what we do know is that the u.s. has amassed significant resources in the region. we also know that the president, that president has authorized the cia to operate in

venezuela, and we are now learning about the 21st known strike on an alleged drug trafficking vessel. this one was in the eastern pacific. most of those strikes have been in the caribbean. it killed three men, according to u.s. southern command, and the death toll from these strikes overall now stands at 83 people. now, the president has been briefed by his team multiple times in recent days on a range of options for venezuela and how to move forward. those options include airstrikes on military or government facilities, as well as drug trafficking routes, as well as the possibility of a more direct attempt to oust the country's president, nicolas maduro. the president telling reporters on friday that he had sort of made up his mind, but not providing additional details. now, experts have described this military buildup as a significant one. we have learned that the world's largest aircraft carrier, the uss gerald r ford, has arrived in the caribbean. today, there

are roughly 15,000 military personnel in the region, as well as more than a dozen warships and ten f-35 fighter jets in the area. we also heard from army secretary dan driscoll, who detailed the plans going forward. listen. >> i think that. >> the president. >> and. secretary of war. >> have spent a lot of. >> time thinking. about what is the best thing they can do for the american people. and i can speak from the army's perspective, which is we have a lot of training in that. >> part of the world. we're reactivating our jungle school in panama. >> we would be ready to act on whatever the president's needed. >> but no. orders beyond these exercises. at this. >> point. >> we don't talk about those kinds of things, but we would be ready if asked. >> now, officially, the trump administration is going after illegal drug trafficking operations in venezuela, but regime change could be a key side effect of that. this is very high risk. it's not clear who would fill the power vacuum in maduro's absence. this is

all something that would require a very serious commitment by the u.s. and what the president is weighing as he prepares to return to washington later this evening. fredricka. >> all right. betsy klein, thanks so much. let's go to stefano there in caracas. so what is the reaction from the venezuelan president nicolas maduro? >> well, the reaction over the last few hours and days. >> fredricka, has been directed at those military drills that betsy was referring to just now. these military drills that are occurring as we speak and through next thursday outside the coast of trinidad and tobago. trinidad and tobago is an archipelago, a small nation made up of several islands, some of whom are less than ten miles away from the from the venezuelan coast. when i was in the region back in 2017, you could see venezuela from, from the coast and the beaches of trinidad and tobago. and that is an area that is notorious for narco trafficking. it's frankly

infamous for narco trafficking. and we know that some of the relatives of some of the victims in these more than 20 strikes that the u.s. has conducted so far in the region, well have spoken out in the area of the venezuelan coast that is directly in front of trinidad and tobago. so nicolas maduro speaking yesterday at a rally here in caracas, took a direct aim at those drills, saying that trinidad and tobago is betraying the unity of latin america by allowing the u.s. to conduct these drills, which he sees as an imperialistic threat. now, today it's a sunday. we're not hearing from maduro directly. we're hearing we haven't heard from any of his officials yet who instead yesterday were crisscrossing the country and conducting ceremonies where regular people were asked to take an oath to defend the fatherland in case of an attack. it really feels like, especially from the government narrative, from the state apparatus, that they are preparing, that this country is trying to get up to

speed as much as possible, to prepare for what could happen in the next few hours, and perhaps in the next, in the next few days, maduro boasted yesterday that up to 4 million venezuelans took that oath. we need to take those figures, of course, with a pinch of salt coming from from an authoritarian president who has vastly exaggerated these sort of claims in the past. however, it clearly shows how urgent he feels this threat is for him and for his government. fredricka. >> all right, stefano, postman in caracas, thanks so much. all right. let's continue the conversation now with us is retired general wesley clark. he's the former nato supreme allied commander. great to see you. so this latest boat strike what intel does the u.s. military generally need to verify substantiate before carrying out something like this on international waters? >> well, frederick, i was also. >> the commander of the u.s. southern command before i was nato commander. so i know the region. >> quite well. >> i've been in venezuela,

colombia and so forth. >> you. >> wouldn't do these strikes normally. i mean, you would stop them and you would search and you would arrest and so forth. so this is an extraordinary effort. but i think to go to the strategic issue that is being raised here. what we haven't talked about is the opposition, the political opposition of venezuela. and we do know that we have special forces or cia people on the ground, perhaps they're talking to the venezuelan opposition. you know, the figures show that about 60, 70% of the venezuelan population is against maduro. and the figures show that he basically lost the last election in 2024. he prevented the most popular woman from running. she had a stand in. and so there's a strong political opposition in venezuela. and so it wouldn't surprise me if there's some relationship between the u.s. build up and perhaps the political situation on the ground in venezuela. we're not talking about it. but when you

look at the buildup, it's certainly more than a counter drug enforcement action would be okay. >> so i do want to follow up on, on, you know, the climate inside venezuela in a second. but first, i want to follow up on the strikes taking place. you know what what are your concerns? about this 21st strike now. and now we understand 83 people killed. do you have concerns about what has already happened? and if there are more strikes that are going to continue? >> well, these strikes would be extraordinary without a some kind of a declaration of of war or some kind of congressional authorization. these strikes, wouldn't be normally authorized. now, what we don't know is whether there's some secret intelligence mission that's going on, that these strikes are in support of a deception mission of some type that's been duly authorized under u.s. law, coordinated with some in

congress, as it's supposed to be. the big eight committee chairmen and so forth. so we don't know about that. so it's a little it's a gray area. i hear everybody talking about this being illegal killings and so forth. but frederick, i just have to be careful because we do do things in the united states sometimes that are authorized for the central intelligence agency or national security agency or whatever. our special forces that aren't that the president is not going to go out publicly and talk about this in advance. but for the men and women who are executing the strikes, i just hope they do have the appropriate legal authority. >> yeah. okay. and i know you're about to catch a flight because we see people behind you who are also doing the same. so real quick to follow up on your bit about the, you know, the climate within venezuela, venezuela. you know that the uss gerald r ford and that strike group is now in the area of the caribbean. what is being signaled in your view, to the country and maybe to the world? >> well, you would signal to

maduro that, you better just sit down and not cause any trouble domestically. because if you try to intervene, crush your political opposition or something like this, if they were to call for help from the united states, the means are at hand to be able to stop violence in venezuela, political violence directed against the opposition, which is actually a majority of the people. so it would be a case somewhat as happened with with gaddafi in libya. you might try to make that case that you were intervening for humanitarian reasons. that's the that's the lesson. that's the that's the warning of this military build up, what it means to the rest of the world is a focus on the caribbean. at the same time, look at what's happening in ukraine, where western assistance is desperately needed as the russians are moving forward under the cover of, of bad weather to close in on the ukrainians at the cross and the united states is sort of standing back from this. we'd

like to see more engagement in europe, which is clearly strategic. but we also have to understand that something's happening here in the western hemisphere. >> all right. always love having you. general wesley clark, thank you so much. but go catch your flight. >> appreciate it. i'm going to. >> do it. >> okay? take care. safe travels. all right. straight ahead. house speaker mike johnson weighs in on tuesday's upcoming vote to release the epstein files. >> president trump has clean hands. he's not worried about it. i talked to him all the time. he has nothing to do with this. he's frustrated that they're turning it into a political issue. and it's not surprising because the democrats have nothing else to talk about up next. >> border patrol agents arrest dozens of people on day one of immigration enforcement efforts in north carolina. >> do you think. >> you can credibly lead a government? >> would you like to tell me why you don't think i can? i have three years to do as much as we can. how do we shine a light on the humanity i know is still there?

getting. and we have reported this before, fred. the trump administration has defended unprecedented federal enforcement operations in cities like los angeles and chicago as necessary for fighting crime and enforcing immigration laws. but people in charlotte say they are puzzled as to why their city is being targeted because, according to a data links, homicides, rapes, robberies and motor vehicle thefts fell by more than 20% in charlotte this year compared with the same time period in 2020. for border patrol. agents have been spotted around charlotte over the weekend, stopping people suspected of being in the country illegally and making arrest while traveling in vans and suvs and covering their faces. as this video obtained by cnn shows. in a post on x top, border patrol official gregory bovino said agents arrested 81 people in charlotte on saturday during a search of immigration enforcement at the department of homeland security has dubbed

operation charlotte's web the arrests, bobino said, took place during a span of about five hours, adding that those arrested had, quote, significant criminal and immigration history and are off the streets. the arrival of the federal agents has prompted at least one business owner in charlotte neighborhood, where many immigrants live, to shut down temporarily. manolo betancourt, a colombian born u.s. citizen, says his bakery is closing its doors only for the second time in 28 years. >> i don't know when i'm going to. >> open back. >> but i need to protect my customers. i need to protect my people. i need to protect myself and my family. i don't even know who are approaching me and who is going to throw me to the floor. >> por qué hizo eso es una? >> and i see we see several incidents caught on cell phone camera. show federal agents trying to arrest people, including an encounter with willie aceituno, a honduran man

who says he says he is a u.s. citizen. he told cnn affiliate wcnc. federal agents broke his pickup truck window in a statement to cnn, u.u.s. custom and border protection said that aceituno acted increasingly erratic, escalated the situation and refused to comply with a lawful commands by officers. in a show of solidarity with immigrants, some charlotte residents took to the streets to send the message that agents are not welcome there. others showed up at manolo's bakery to support a business and a community they say is being unfairly targeted by the federal agents. >> i don't feel that they belong here. i hope that they leave soon. and yeah, i definitely think that when people are recording, when there are people out here watching, it makes a difference. >> and finally, fred, local officials, including mayor vi lyles, criticized such actions, saying in a statement that they are causing unnecessary fear and

uncertainty. and that's certainly the case with what people are saying right now. >> you can see it creating a lot of anxiety. all right. rafael romo, thank you so much. all right. a cnn exclusive now. >> the most hurtful thing he said, which is absolutely untrue, is he called me a traitor. and that is that is so extremely wrong. >> what georgia republican congresswoman marjorie taylor greene told cnn about the root of her feud with president trump. >> prime minister premieres tonight at nine on cnn and next day on the cnn app. >> for the. >> perfect present. the perfect. >> place is your local. >> ace. >> this christmas. order online and we'll deliver same day or have it ready for pickup in 15 minutes. around the block. what you need in stock. with service so good. it's guaranteed. >> with the helpful hardware folks. >> meet your new dell pc with. >> intel inside not only is it a

tuesday, the house will hold a high stakes vote on whether to release more files related to the convicted sex trafficker. a discharge petition has collected enough signatures to force house speaker mike johnson to hold a floor vote, which he's been delaying for months. >> so it will be on the floor again next week. i suspect there'll be lots of votes that will just get this done. president trump has clean hands. he's not worried about it. i talked to him all the time. he has nothing to do with this. >> on friday, president trump ordered a justice department investigation into democrats potential ties to epstein. tuesday's vote in the u.s. house will happen despite trump's repeated attempts to pressure republicans to vote against the bill. his opposition to releasing the epstein files has also created a stunning rift with some of his biggest supporters. >> unfortunately, it has all come down to the epstein files, and that is shocking. and you know, i stand with these women, i stand with rape victims, i

stand with children who are in terrible sex abuse situations and i stand with survivors of trafficking and those that are trapped in in sex trafficking. and i will not apologize for that. i believe the country deserves transparency in these files. and i don't believe that that rich, powerful people should be protected if they have if they have done anything wrong. and and so i'm standing with the women and i will continue to do my small part to get the files released. >> cnn's julia benbrook is joining us right now. so, julia, what more are you learning ahead of this vote? >> well, this effort is moving forward. we do expect next week to see the house of representatives vote on the release of department of justice files related to convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. this push has been led by a bipartisan pair of lawmakers,

representative ro khanna, a democrat from california, and representative thomas massie, a republican from kentucky, on their discharge petition that needed the support of 218 members in order to force a vote on this. they only had the signatures of a handful of republican members, but they are predicting that that number will rise significantly when it goes to the house floor. take a listen. >> i think. >> when it's. >> actually a vote on the house floor. >> do you want these files released? >> republicans and democrats. >> are going to. >> vote yes. i think there's going to be a deluge of republicans. the longer this goes on, the more support we gain. and i think the speaker recognized that. and that's why, after months of trying to stop us, he's decided to accelerate the vote because he knows we're going to get votes and that's going to carry momentum into the senate so massie has set a goal of getting a veto proof majority. >> so that would be two thirds of the house or 290 members. if

everyone is in attendance. he hopes that that would then put pressure on the senate to act as well. once they got the final signatures needed to force this vote, house speaker mike johnson said that he would move quickly on this. and that's a change in strategy, both for him and for the white house. a white white house official did tell cnn that johnson and trump did speak before, and that he knew that this was going to be expedited, that there was a general understanding that this was an inevitable reality at this point. now, trump is not accused of any wrongdoing related to epstein. his intense focus, though, on trying to keep his party looking elsewhere, not going after this vote has in some ways just drawn more attention to their previous relationship. fred. >> all right. julia, thanks so much. in washington. all right. what was once the home of christian scientist church is now the holy grail of internet

immigration crackdown, zeroing in on charlotte, north carolina. border patrol says more than 81 people were arrested saturday. that's leading to increased anxiety across the city as charlotte's mayor says the immigration operation is causing what she calls unnecessary fear and uncertainty. joining us right now to discuss north carolina state representative aisha do. she represents the charlotte area representative. good to see you. so several incidents have been caught on cell phone camera showing federal agents trying to arrest people, including an encounter. as you're seeing right there with a honduran man who says he is a u.s. citizen. he had an encounter while in his red truck there. he told cnn affiliate wcnc that federal agents broke his the window of his pickup truck. as you see there, and in a statement to cnn, u.s. customs and border protection said that the man and i'm quoting now acted increasingly erratic, end quote, and then escalated the

situation, quote, unquote, and refused to comply to lawful commands by officers. homeland security says this operation is intended to ensure americans are safe and public safety threats are removed. so what's your reaction to all of that you know. >> what i've seen so far seems much more like a witch hunt based off of racial profiling. you know, essentially the supreme court made it a we're so sorry. >> it looks like, our signal is not reliable. but wait a minute, i think i think we're going to try it again. okay. representative. let's try that again. go ahead. yes. >> yeah. >> so i don't think that. >> we have the number of violent offenders and criminals that they're really looking for. one of the statistics i saw through

one of the raids was that only 2% of the people that they captured were violent offenders. and i think that that would probably end up being the same thing here. of course we want to get rid of violent offenders. however, what we don't want is for people to just feel unsafe. >> and what are you hearing from your constituents? >> they do not want border patrol here. i've said it before. we don't have any borders that need to be protected. we don't need to be protected from south carolina, tennessee or virginia. and we don't have people coming on boats to wilmington. so overall, north carolina is a pretty safe place what can you do? >> to allay concerns of your constituents as a state representative? what what do you feel? you know, you have the power to do to respond to the attention now that the charlotte area is getting from the

president's immigration push? >> i lost part of the question, but i think that what we're trying to do for our community members is to let them know their rights and also to keep anyone who's participating in any type of protest or protecting their neighbors to also be calm and to remain peaceful throughout this process to the best of their ability. i ice border patrol. they should not go into private citizens homes. >> all right, we lost that signal. but i think we all got the gist of what she was saying there. north carolina state representative, i should do. thank you so much. all right. voting is underway for the 2025 cnn hero of the year. and we're reintroducing each of the top five heroes hollywood productions involve hundreds of people working behind the scenes, often fueled by gourmet meals provided on set. well,

assistant director hillary cohen has always been pretty disturbed that a lot of that leftover food ended up in the trash. so she took action. >> working on a film set. it's this whole team of people, a prop department, the costume department and electric department, and a lot of people that need to be fed there's just so much food that's available. steak and salads, so much good food every day. when lunch was over, they would just throw it out. it doesn't make any sense. i really was always told we can't donate the food. it's too hard if someone gets sick, it's a liability. as an assistant director, i was the logistical planner of a set. this is just the logistical problem. i think it's so easy to solve. everyday action picks food up from film sets, corporate events, grocery stores to deliver the food to those in need. >> nice to meet you.

it's a little cool where you are, but you're here to warm our hearts. paige and torin, thank you so much. so you're walking from canada to mexico, but you have been all over the country, so, paige, you first. you know, when when torin first said, hey, let's walk across america. what was the impetus of the idea? the goal? your reaction? >> before we were even officially dating. >> he said, you should sell everything you own and move. >> into a backpack. >> with me. so i knew it was leading this way, but it took me about a year to come around. but we made it here. >> so describe then, paige, what have these walks been like they've been very, very eye opening to how much we can grow ourselves to what the world is really like. >> how much more love and kindness is out there, how much we can connect with people. so unlike ourselves. >> so, torin, i mean, you're lucky paige is just like, hey, okay, i'm on board. this seems pretty easy. and you both seem really easygoing, but. and i

think, you know, a lot of folks can relate to. hey, life is nuts right now for just about everyone. it's very stressful. it's expensive. taxing, with of course, underlying, you know, moments of beauty. but was this, in your view, kind of an effort to get back to the simple things? you know appreciation, you know, seeing leaves changing all that? i mean, what was your goal? >> you know, i think in many ways we've stumbled into a philosophy we didn't know we were necessarily walking into. my original goal was to just figure out how to be content, because i was pursuing all the things that were kind of pressed to in life, you know, typical 9 to 5, have a couple of cars and some extra room in the house. but i definitely wasn't happy. and over time, i began to learn that contentment was far more counterintuitive than i realized. i eventually got rid of everything i owned and backpacked a few hundred miles through the mountains. that was some time before i met paige, though. >> wow. so what were what do you think have been the moments of

affirmation that, you know, this is allowing me to find that contentment? i mean, was it like we're looking at some of the pictures? was it seeing the majestic mountains? was it seeing these incredible, you know, tree trunks? i don't know if that was the redwood forest there, but you know what? what have been those moments of affirmation for you? >> you know, really it's it's experiencing life in a different way. we often avoid discomfort at all costs. we're spending our lives chasing as many pleasures as we can. but what i found was that even though i was incredibly uncomfortable there in the mountains when i first backpacked, and i didn't have any of the things that i thought were supposed to make me happy, i was finding more fulfillment and more satisfaction in my life. and that's really what we've gone on to talk to people about. you know, the way that we acclimate. according to the circumstances that we accumulate for ourselves in our situation. and how very quickly dissatisfaction can creep in, even though we might actually be in a wonderful position. it's

our perspective that determines our interpretation of it. >> mm-hmm. paige, what about the people that you've met? we're looking at this video where it looks like you've, you know, run into a family. and now the kids are walking with you for a few paces there. talk to me about, you know, the people you've met and what those moments have been like for you. >> people have been so friendly. california was especially, i think, surprising. we have been more welcomed than we expected to. just recently. and the, what town was it? we went out to eat at a local restaurant, and we were welcomed by the owners and our host and a bunch of local people came over to greet us. >> and the city. >> of rancho verde. >> city of rancho cordova, and over to city hall to say hello. >> oh my goodness. i mean, it sounds like it's been transformative. >> absolutely. >> so so, torin, through it all, you know, while you've gotten a lot of press, you know, hence here you are with us too. you haven't accepted any

sponsorships. i understand, you know. tell me why it's been important to fund your journey through donations and share your content really for free it's really because of the experiences that we've had with people when we set off on this journey, we were expecting to sleep under a lot more bridges like this, but throughout the course of the journey, people were coming out of the woodwork to help us along the way. >> this was before we had any social media presence, so when we created it, we decided, you know what? we've received freely. we're going to give freely back. so no paywalls or content for the duration of the walk, no sponsorships, no business deals, just altruistic. >> very fun. oh, paige and torin, thank you so much. paige and torin rouse appreciate it. happy trails. thanks for stopping to talk to us. take care. all right. take an intimate look into the extraordinary political career and life of new zealand's former prime minister jacinda ardern.
